But will be the same for everyone else. And most of those will have players on far more expensive contracts than us.

Yep the 'Moneyball' effect. Some people don't seem to realise that a flowing game like football has far more nuances than the stop/start nature of most American sports. Stats may show someone runs around loads and appears very energetic, but be totally ineffectual compared to someone who runs...

I agree but this is hardly related to the gangs. Those gangs are drugs/turf wars and this had nothing to do with that. It was a stupid reaction to an even stupider racist video. Obv the question does arise as to why they had such a weapon in the first place and taking any weapon out into the...

Taking back control. I'm sure those who voted leave for more border control will of course be more than happy to accept the situation. The fact we've failed to instigate tight border controls compared to pretty much every EU country at a time when such measures can easily be justified on public...

Our foray thus far into foreign transfers hasn't been that good. We've picked up some good domestic prospects but those from abroad haven't set the world alight. Of course it could work well, but it's a massive gamble that they'll be able to fit in and suit football in this country. It may...

Yes, the Srivaddhanaprabha family *yes I did have to google that to copy and paste

He certainly was for a bit while filming Malcolm in the Middle. Apparently has memory issues now so I wouldn't be expecting him to be overly excited.

Just be careful because wherever you hang it on the wall, each morning you'll wake to find it's slid halfway across the room.

That would've been mad. Imagine if Tranmere had said we want to be part of them and then won them what happens then? Does the promotion and relegation cancel out and they stay in L1? Do they have to simultaneously field two teams in two divisions next year?

Walsh was an exceptional part of the box midfield (helped by Kelly undoubtedly) but I think you're slightly diminishing the roles of Westbrooke and Shipley made in those attacking positions as well. O'Hare undoubtedly played a big role (IMO more effectively from the bench). Of the three of them...

It does seem there are people that just automatically assume racism are harming the cause and giving the racist element ammo and turning others away. It's not like there aren't enough actual acts of racism to promote the cause without needing to turn ones that aren't into them. In this example...

I think players leaving: Allassani Bosma Brown Hickman Hiwula Maycock Thompson Wakefield Walters Young could be given another year, might not. Will dangle my legs over the 'release' side of the fence. Baka again I'd say following promotion could now be on the release rather than retain side...

He's not had much luck. First loan out broke his foot a game in and out for season. Tranmere he went and they then signed about four other strikers and he didn't get a look in, then went on another loan and almost immediately season got ended for Coronavirus. Must feel cursed. Would still...

Players going will be those out of contract. Ponti isn't.

The Nuddy effect. Or possibly just a few of his kids.....

But just remember to book the flight for two weeks prior to actual game, otherwise he'll be enjoying the match in quarantine!

I think authorities may be reluctant to do this because some fans will turn up outside the ground wanting to get in and looking for someone selling a ticket. Could be a touts wet dream and also people making forged tickets. Also if you have mostly empty seats there will inevitably be people...

Balancing act. Could work on assumption of full season to start with and offer pro-rata payback/voucher scheme but that might put some off. Also a reduced price season ticket might be more affordable for some given the economic uncertainty, but I guess that is what the 6/12 match packages are...

I agree. It's served a number of teams well over the years. Then when they get to Prem they seem to feel the need to buy ready players, that pathway to the first team closes and they stagnate. Of course the academy/reserves will be looking to bring in the best talent they can and arguably the...

They could instantly put it on sale with 20% off as a joke.
